Injectable peptide cancer vaccine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rindopepimut (CDX-110) is an injectable peptide cancer vaccine[1] which targets a mutant protein called EGFRvIII present in about 25% to 30% of glioblastoma cases.[2]
The vaccine consists of the EGFRv3-specific peptide (a 13-amino acid mutant vIII epitope[3]) conjugated to the non-specific immunomodulator keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).[4]
The US FDA granted it Breakthrough Therapy designation for glioblastoma in Feb 2015 meaning that it might be able to get approval sooner if it is effective.[5]
The phase II ACT III study reported encouraging results in June 2015.[1]
The ReACT clinical trial for glioblastoma reported encouraging results in 2015.[2]
In March 2016 the phase III ACT IV trial [6] was terminated because it did not increase overall survival.[7]
